Jammu Tawi, Aug 12: Jammu and Kashmir Anti-Corruption Bureau has extracted one of the major land scams in Jammu and Kashmir, wherein a Custodian land in Asarwan, Mishriwala and Bhalwal area of Jammu district has been found usurped by the land mafia in connivance with Form Alf Holders and the officers/officials of Custodian/ Revenue department.
According to a statement, inputs were received that Custodian land in thousands of Kanal situated at Asarwan, Mishriwala and Bhalwal Jammu, has been fraudulently grabbed by the land grabbers/gangsters in connivance with the Revenue and police officers/officials.
The revenue records have been tempered and land has been sold to various persons, the statement added.
On the basis of the inputs received by ACB, a verification was initiated and on the basis of the verification conducted earlier it was found that more than 600 kanals of Custodian land was shown allotted to the displaced persons through fraudulent means by the officers/officials of Revenue Department in connivance with the land grabbers/ Form Alaf holders.

Now again, during the course of verification it has been found that displaced persons from PaK were already allotted land in their favour but even then kith and kin of these families although not entitled as already allotted land being Form Alaf holders, in connivance with the concerned Patwaries/ Girdawars/ Naib Tehsildars/ Tehsildars of Revenue Department got mutations of additional land at Bhalwal area of District Jammu attested in their favour either without any Govt./ PRO order or on fake Govt./ PRO order.
